What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in vice president and actuary jobs.
- Fellowship designation (FSA, FCAS, or MAAA) with relevant practice area experience
- 10 or more years of actuarial experience including team leadership responsibilities
- Proficiency in actuarial modeling software such as Prophet, MoSes, or ResQ

Tips for Your Vice President and Actuary Job Search
Lead with your fellowship designation
FSA or FCAS credentials belong in your resume headline and summary, not buried in a credentials section. Hiring managers screening for vice president and actuary roles filter on designation status before reading anything else about your background.
Quantify reserve and pricing impact
Actuaries moving into vice president roles need to show business outcomes, not just technical accuracy. Replace phrases like 'performed reserve analyses' with the dollar value of reserves managed or the revenue impact of pricing models you led.
Target postings by practice area explicitly
Life, P&C, health, and pension actuarial VP roles require different technical backgrounds. Search by practice area rather than title alone so you're not wasting applications on postings that require a different exam track than the one you're on.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists vice president and actuary openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a model risk walkthrough for interviews
VP-level actuarial interviews frequently include a live walkthrough of a model you've built or validated. Know your assumptions, the sensitivity of key drivers, and how you communicated uncertainty to non-actuarial stakeholders like CFOs or underwriting leadership.
Negotiate total compensation including study support
If you're still completing exams, factor exam fees, study materials, and paid study time into your offer evaluation. These benefits vary widely across carriers and consulting firms and can represent meaningful value beyond base compensation.

Demand is typically strongest at large insurance carriers, Big Four consulting firms, and reinsurance organizations.
How many vice president and actuary jobs are remote?
About 83% of vice president and actuary openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in financial services hiring. Consulting and pricing roles tend to offer more remote arrangements than reserving or risk management positions, which often require closer coordination with finance and underwriting teams on-site.
How do you become a vice president and actuary?
Becoming a vice president and actuary typically requires earning a fellowship designation through the Society of Actuaries or Casualty Actuarial Society, building deep technical expertise in a practice area, and progressively taking on team leadership and cross-functional project ownership. Most candidates reach the VP level after leading pricing, reserving, or modeling initiatives that demonstrate both actuarial rigor and executive communication.
Can you get hired as a vice president and actuary without direct VP experience?
Yes, candidates can move into a vice president and actuary role without a prior VP title if they've led high-visibility actuarial projects, managed or mentored junior staff, and can demonstrate influence over strategic decisions like reserve adequacy or product pricing. Employers weight fellowship status and the scope of your most recent responsibilities more heavily than your exact title history.
What does the vice president and actuary interview process look like?
The interview process for a vice president and actuary role typically includes an initial screening with HR or a recruiter, a technical interview covering modeling methodology and reserve or pricing philosophy, and a final round with senior leadership that tests your ability to communicate actuarial findings to non-technical audiences. Some employers include a case study or model review exercise before the final stage.
